Army Day, 1950. Soldiers' Field, Nurnberg. Every year, on VE day, there was a HUGE Review, just to subtly remind the Germans who won WWII. That's my Dad's platoon (part of Tk Co, 16th Inf Regt/1ID) passing the very spot where Old Adolf used to exhort his legions "On for another Thousand Years". (Guess nobody had told him the US Army was coming to town). |
